Experiencing an unexpected tragedy or loss often provokes a period of self-reflection, a time to contemplate one’s own place and purpose in the world. That was true for El Ten Eleven’s Kristian Dunn. When a beloved family member passed, Dunn found his own reflections on life emerging in the music he composed. Those expressions led to the creation of Tautology a sonic meditation on the arc of human life, composed in three parts. Over the course of three discs, Tautology is, in Dunn’s words, “a representation of life from the teenage years, through middle-age, until the end of life.” The sounds on the album echo Dunn’s own experiences, veering from aggressive metallic riffs to blissful ambient soundscapes. And while there are shared melodies and harmonies through all three records, each one has its own distinct qualities: Tautology I, which represents adolescence, is angsty, aggressive and occasionally depressive; Tautology II is head-noddy and mid-tempo, and represents middle age; while Tautology III, quiet and ambient, represents one’s golden years. Tautology is not a typical rock album, and El Ten Eleven are not a typical rock band. For seventeen years the instrumental duo of Dunn (bass/guitar) and Tim Fogarty (drums) have flourished outside the accepted norms of rock orthodoxy, releasing eight full length albums and four EPs, and performing over 750 live shows. Utilizing inventive arrangements and a masterful use of looping, El Ten Eleven create a sound much bigger than the sum of its parts. Joyful Noise Recordings will digitally release each of Tautology’s three discs, individually and in sequential order, beginning May 1st, with a physical 3LP release on September 18, 2020. Dunn explains there’s no right or wrong way to listen to Tautology, suggesting that a deep dive into the full project will yield rewards. “I think someone could listen to any one of the discs by themselves and have a really great experience—even if they didn’t know about the others. But if they do want to go deeper, I think there will be a lot of interesting stuff to discover. It works symbolically and it all connects. I think this is the best record we’ve ever done.” Artist El Ten Eleven Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Joyful Noise Recordings Buying Options 3LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code , 3LP Includes Download Code Format 3LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1 Entropy 2 With Report 3 Jejune 4 Moral Dynamite 5 Division 6 Lassitude 7 Besotted 8 Shimmer 9 Nocturne 10 The Silent Bell That Rings 11 Half Mast 12 Queen’s Gambit 13 Growing Shorter 14 Farrago 15 Caducity 16 You Are A Piece of Me, You Are a Piece of Her 17 Aubade 18 Shimmered 19 Let's All Go Out Like Francis 20 Senescent 21 All of This Bliss Doesn’t Come Without a Price Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from El Ten Eleven and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View El Ten Eleven Valley of Fire Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Joyful Noise Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th February 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders El Ten Eleven Valley of Fire £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Joyful Noise Recordings SKU: JNR411LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View El Ten Eleven New Year’s Eve Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Joyful Noise Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 4th March 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders El Ten Eleven New Year’s Eve £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Joyful Noise Recordings SKU: JNR391LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View El Ten Eleven Banker’s Hill Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Topshelf | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th September 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders El Ten Eleven Banker’s Hill £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Topshelf SKU: LPTSR194 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ergs, The dorkrockcorkrod Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Don Giovanni | 1LP Released 11th August 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ergs, The dorkrockcorkrod £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Don Giovanni SKU: LPDG008 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Holy Motors Slow Sundown Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Wharf Cat | 1LP Released 9th March 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holy Motors Slow Sundown £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Wharf Cat SKU: WCR072LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View The Luyas Human Voicing Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Paperbag | 1LP Released 24th February 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders The Luyas Human Voicing £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Paperbag SKU: PAPER105LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Damned, The Stiff Singles 1976 – 1977 Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | BMG Rights Management | 7", Box Set Released 30th March 2018 £43.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Damned, The Stiff Singles 1976 – 1977 £43.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538329681 Formats: 7", Box Set Released Date: 30th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mogwai Government Commissions (BBC Sessions 1996-2003) Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Rock Action | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 27th October 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mogwai Government Commissions (BBC Sessions 1996-2003) £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Rock Action SKU: ROCKACT70LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Homesick, The The Big Exercise Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 7th February 2020 £20.00 -
